Oilers-sharks will be fun because neither are really considered contenders, and the puck landing on Mcdavid's stick at his own blue line and him being completely alone by the next one will put a smile on anybody's face. You'll also get to see eberle and RNH in their first playoffs. And Taylor Hall will also probably be watching.

four 1st overalls will make their playoff debuts this week making hall the only active 1st overall who hasnt been to the playoffs

hes also never finished on a team that got above 80 points

The Canadiens bought a drat hockey league to force Beliveau to play for them.


Edit: That might be a myth. Beliveau's wiki page says it's true, but the page for the league he was playing in says it isn't.

iirc beliveau was signed to the habs under a b form, as opposed to the more common c form. where the c form was basically "we own you and you will play for who we telled you to", that only applied for b form players once they turned professional. beliveau kept avoiding doing that until the habs bought the drat league and turned it professional

It was also after Hull/Gretzky fell off and before Pronger became good. They barely had Gretzky, he was a deadline acquisition who left in the offseason. They were huge underdogs against the Red Wings who was the best regular season team since 77 so it wasnt surprising to anyone that they lost (and it was surprising that they got to Game 7 OT).

the series the red wings went to was the avs one where lemieux hit draper too. im glad we avoided the alternate time line where st louis wins that ot
